[herkiop]

Hello, all other things being equal, how do these processors compare in Win 7 32 bit 2GB and 3GB notebooks and 64bit 3GB and 4GB notebooks?

In terms of CPU power Passmark CPU benchmark scores:
Intel Core2 Duo SU9400 @ 1.40GHz @ 958
Intel Core i5 M 430 @ 2.27GHz @ 2389
In terms of battery life - the SU9400 might last twice as long, or longer due to it's ultra low voltage (ULV) design.

Thank you. Time-wise, does this mean the i5-430M is much faster? For example, video conversion, winrar compression, large number of file transfers among disk?

It means its actually quite a bit faster.
